Dirk Nowitzki to Steve Nash when he signed with Lakers: ‘Have a great year and I hope you lose to the Mavs’

LOS ANGELES — Dirk Nowitzki and Lakers guard Steve Nash were inseparable when they were both with the Mavericks, and Nowitzki said Monday they still talk as much as they can, although visiting each other is tougher now.

“Yeah, we do stay in touch,” Nowitzki said. “He came to my wedding last summer — had a blast there. We try to keep in touch as much as we can, but obviously, he’s got kids and family and stuff going on. So we don’t see each other as much anymore, like we used to, but we try to keep in touch.”

Their conversations are limited in that they don’t talk business, he said.

“We don’t really talk hoops much,” Nowitzki said. “I wished him the best when he signed with LA. I said, ‘Have a great year and I hope you lose to the Mavs.’ But it didn’t happen.”
